Great, I really appreciate this work for NetBSD.
Very good.

Just a question? Why do you have to load libcrypto.so and libssl.so manually?
Because of a.out? At least under ELF you should be able to link libssl.so
against libssl.so and libcrypto.so and they should be loaded implicitly. And
one more question: What's the reason you have to name the DSO mod_ssl.so
instead of libssl.so? Because of the conflict with the "real" libssl.so?

Ops, seems like I was too slow or you too fast. Last weekend I've added full
APXS support to the distribution. I think this would make your life easier.
When you're interesting you can test my APXS support. I've still not comitted
it for mod_ssl 2.1.x because it's not enough tested. But it already works
fine for me. You just have to use --with-apxs instead of --with-apache and
anything else works magically ;-) Let it me know when I can use you as a
beta-tester for this stuff...
